Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future

 * ... that the book Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future argues we are living in the Golden Age? source
 * Reviewed: New York City Board of Transportation; 370 Jay Street

 * Symbol question.svg Long enough (2020 chars), nominated with seven days of creation, and appears neutral. Most of it is referenced to reliable sources; however material in lead which isn't repeated in the text needs to be referenced. Earwig found nothing of concern except a list of topics which represent the book's chapter headings. The hook is concise and interesting, and supported by an adequately reliable reference, with the caveats that it should make clear that the quotation is not from the book but from a Spectator article written by the author; also the source says "a golden age", not "the Golden Age". The article should probably state somewhere that the book is in English. QPQ done, but needs to confirm that copyright violation/paraphrasing has been checked.

 * I've added a cite to the lead. Copyvio check for QPQ was done by a bot. Let me know if anything else is needed. PS. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  08:54, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Piotrus, you are supposed to do your own copyvio check. The bot only gives numbers; all reviewers should be looking at the actual textual results and seeing whether anything has been copied. (Sometimes the number is high but it's only a properly quoted passage; sometimes the number is low but the copying blatant.) In this case, however, since the hook has since been promoted and since you misunderstood how the copyvio check works in the era of the bot (though I would have thought its caveats were pretty clear), I think it can probably slide this once, though that is up to Espresso Addict to determine.

 * I'm happy to allow the QPQ to count. I've added "English" to the infobox for clarity. An accurate phrasing of the hook might be: Alt1: "... that the author of Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future argues we are living in a golden age?" if Piotrus were happy with that?

 * Thank you for the clarifications. To avoid the need for another reviewer, I'll formally adopt and propose ALT1: --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:22, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
